I wish to connect to a database to do an SQL delete
command.
Works ok in straight access.
The table was migrated to sql server and I wish to do the
same operation.

Connection comes up with a 3146 ODBC call failed error
when I try to connect automatically.
Connection works fine when I connect manually using the
dbDriverprompt parameter.

I have cut and pasted the parameters from the manual
connection in to the auto connection but still get the
same error. anyone any ideas?

Set wrkODBC = CreateWorkspace("EFACS", "sa", "exelexel",
dbUseODBC) ' no errors given

Params = "ODBC;DRIVER=SQL
Server;SERVER=EFACSSERVER;UID=sa;PWD=exelexel;APP=Microsoft
Open Database Connectivity;WSID=IT-2;DATABASE=whatifdb"

Set conefacs = wrkODBC.OpenConnection("CON_1",
dbDriverComplete, False, Params)
' gives 3146 run time error

change "CON_1" to empty string:

wrkODBC.OpenConnection("",dbDriverComplete, False, Params)

Now, when I run manually everything completely pre-filled
in correctly apart from DSN; where it needs some hand
steering. Will work on that last barrier.

Thanks again

Microsoft Knowledgebase - 327268 talks about setting up
the DSN as a Machine not File DSN. I have done that and it
works automatically now. Probably was looking in the
machine folder for the dsn by default - couldn't find it
and stopped whilst awaiting user input.
